Background Information : I am a 43 yr old woman who traveled solo, staying in the studio cabins. This is my 4th cruise with NCL and my 6th total.
Hotel Info (if any): I did not stay in a hotel. I flew down the day of and took the NCL airport transfer.
Ship Info : The ship itself is huge yes... it has more than 4,000 passengers. The negatives: It is a downfall that there are few elevators and very long lines most times to get into them. Most times I just took the stairs. The casino was very poorly placed in the center of the ship and was full of smoke with tiny air purifiers which could never keep up with that kind of space. Many times you have to walk through there, and for a non smoker like me...it was kind of gross. I actually would have spent time gambling in there if they maybe had a non smoking night or something. But they didn't, so I just moved quickly through. The positives: There was a LOT of things to do! Most times I just had the buffet meal because I wanted to be able to do everything in the little 7 days I was onboard. Staterooms, Entertainment and Crew are top notch! The fitness center was very large with everything you could imagine!
Small, as expected, but ample storage. Studio lounge a huge plus. Hallway could get noisy. Poor lighting. Super comfy beds! Better than I ever expected it to be. NCL really set the bar for this!
